<p>Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal, right-wing darling and presumptive 2016 Republican nominee for President, took a major hit today when the state's highest court ruled his signature school voucher plan violates the state’s constitution.</p>
<p>The Court found in a vote of 6 to 1 that Jindal's voucher plan is illegal because it funnels taxpayer dollars to pay for private and religious school tuitions.</p>
